Question 560
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A change board requires proof that known-exploit detection is active without launching real attacks. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A change board requires proof that known-exploit detection is active without launching real attacks. The targeted administrative response is: Apply a suitable up-to-date FortiGate IPS sensor with approved signature actions to the firewall policy for the protected service. The relevant failure risk is: An IPS profile that is absent from the matched allow rule cannot block a known threat against that traffic. Validate with: A controlled benign vendor-provided IPS test triggers the approved alert or block action on the matched policy.
For the observed situation (A change board requires proof that known-exploit detection is active without launching real attacks), the most specific acceptance evidence is: A controlled benign vendor-provided IPS test triggers the approved alert or block action on the matched policy. It validates the recommended response: Apply a suitable up-to-date FortiGate IPS sensor with approved signature actions to the firewall policy for the protected service. This addresses the documented risk: An IPS profile that is absent from the matched allow rule cannot block a known threat against that traffic.
Incorrect Answers
Antivirus event investigation and quarantine controls (3.4) would demonstrate or implement: A safe test produces the expected detection record while a documented legitimate file exception remains narrowly scoped. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the Ips signature sensor and firewall attachment control being assessed here.
Inbound protected ssl server certificate handling (3.1) would demonstrate or implement: An appliance lacking the proper protected-server certificate cannot safely present the intended server identity during inspection. This case instead tests Ips signature sensor and firewall attachment; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
Web-filter block pages and certificate user experience (3.2) addresses another technical failure: Improper certificate trust or unsupported browser behavior can turn an intended policy block into confusing TLS errors. The required paired action and test concerns Ips signature sensor and firewall attachment; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
